Williams to the D-League

[ToddMacCulloch11]

The Nets announced Monday afternoon that they have assigned Sean Williams to the Colorado 14ers of the D-Leaugue. Williams has played in 16 of the Nets’ first 30 games, hasn’t played since Dec. 12, and hasn’t logged more than seven minutes since Nov. 30. This is just the second time the Nets have used the D-League. Mile Ilic was assigned to Colorado two seasons ago. Williams could be in action Tuesday in Colorado against the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

atleast he'll be able to get some playing time

glad to see something happen with him. i'm guessing they couldn't find a deal that they liked.

It might end up helping his trade value some. If he goes down there and plays well, it might make a team more interested in him. But I guess at the same time it could hurt him too...if he can't make it there, who is going to think he'll be able to produce on the NBA level?

Fort Wayne Mad Ants, now thats a sick team name...

I still think this kid has a bright future, but he still needs some time to develop. Good move by the Nets

Thank God! I was afraid Nets would give him up for nothing. If he manages to regain the form he had in the beginning of his rookie season he may help the Nets or be traded for some nice value in return.

Does sending him to the D-League open up a roster spot?
If so... interesting timing.
Maybe it could indicate something will happen with Krstic?

 

[Infamous]

He's still on the roster, still at 15. Nets will still have to do a 2 for 1 deal or waive someone for Krstic.

when in doubt, send stro back to Memphis

Nets get a roster spot (and a contract that is off the books by 2010), Grizz get a big to take up minutes while Darko is healing and more cap room at the end of the year.

Could do the same thing to the Kings for Kenny Thomas. He'll be off the books by 2010 also

Can this be good for S.Williams?

Josh Davis of the Colorado 14ers has been named the NBA D-League Performer of the Week for games played during the week of Dec. 22, 2008. Davis is the second member of the 14ers to earn the honor this season, joining teammate James Mays who was named Performer of the Week on Dec. 15.

Davis led the 14ers to a 3-0 record this week, averaging 20.0 points and 8.0 rebounds while shooting .632 (24-of-38) from the field.

Great news for us. If this doesn't wake him up then he isn't an NBA player.

Let's swap Davis for Swat then lol

Fort Wayne Mad Ants, now thats a sick team name...

"Mad" Anthony Wayne was a Revolutionary War general. Among other things, the town of Wayne, NJ, was named for him.

at least the 14ers can win at home

[jirohkanzaki]

SWat should come ready to play even in the minor leagues...the team he is joining features 4 veteran NBDL all-stars in eddie gill, billy thomas, kaniel dickens and elton brown plus performer of the week josh davis plus 2 nba draft 2nd rounders in sonny weems (taken before CDR) and cheikh samb...if he fails to flourish here he can kiss his NBA dreams goodbye...on the other hand if he flourishes and contributes the team will truly be a powerhouse squad which is almost sure to win the title and will increase his profile and team's interest in him a bit.

While D-League coaches are not required to play those players on assignment from NBA teams, the 14ers coach, Bob MacKinnon, has a reputation for player development and is the son of a former Nets coach.

From our very own, NetIncome. http://www.netsdaily.com/blog/?p=581

I hope this is true.

We need our own D-League team.

awesome, I may have to check that out for a little bit

 

[Belarus]

If Sean does not dominate (trible-double: pts, rebs, blocks ) - cut him into pieces, marinate him, wipe him out from the surface of the earth, ban his name and never recall such person lived in this world and wore Nets uniform

 

[nets1]

mays twisted his ankle and now sean williams is in!!!! Playing at the 3 spot....

 

[nets1]

not good a missed shot, and then missed a pass on the fast break.. They say he's gonna play alot of minutes for the nets assignment.

 

[nets1]

williams with a great pass but the 14ers center couldn't handle it. Guess he wasn't used to a real nba pass...

 

[Belarus]

Sean is wearing 00 number ... that's exactly what he is on the floor zero.

 

[nets1]

i was wondering what his number was.... Only playing with second team now, but he has had 00 minutes of practice yet
